camera mis enscene sound

Movie : Phantom of the Opera

Camera Movement
At the beginning of the seqence the camera movement is quite slow and zooms in very slow too. as the musc speed up and gets more upbeat the camera movement is very fast and cuts faster too. This makes a 2 minute sequence seem faster than it originally does. It also has a interesting shot when it is tracks and reverses at the same time when the pipes get on fire one by one. the camra movements gets much better as the colour changes from balck and white into colour.

Analysis Opening Sequence #1

Movie : Children of Men
Camera Movements
At the beginning it begins with a crow of people inside a cafe watching the television. The mid shot of this part shows the interest in what is being played on TV. Everybody is very close together all eager to hear the news.
There is also another TV behind the crowd of people. This way the audience is able to see what they can see too. This is a very clever way of showing what is going on TV, instead of having a close shot of the TV screen every so often.
As the main character (Clive Owen) makes his way out of the cafe the camera also follows this hints that he is the main character in this film. At the same time it helps the audience get a glimpse of "London" and how it is like outside.
As you may have realise the camera does not cut and carries on until the bomb explosion. The camera follows Clive Owen from behind until he stands still to mix something with his coffee, at this point the camera continues to move around him to the side, this means the audience is able to see the bomb explosion and able to see what Clive sees.
Mis En Scene
Nobody in the cafe was spotted as a young person, everybody were adults.
Everyone was wearing normal everyday clothing, there was not unusual costumes
All the expressions in the cafe seemed very serious due to the shocking news on the TV
The colour of the movie was grey-ish, blue-ish. This makes it looks very dusty, cold and creates a mysterious atmosphere.
Sound
At the beginning the sound of the news reporter is heard, this straight away tells the audience that there is something important happening. Also there is a small amount of non-digetic sound during this news report.
However as Clive Owen leaves the cafe there is more digetic sounds of the roads, traffic, vehicles. This makes the explosion more shocking as it would have seemed like everything was normal just before it exploded.

About Me :)


Up There is me :) ^^ 

Name: Neeraiya Ravikumar (But they call me Neeri, as my name is too complicated to say)
Birthday: 4th May 1994
Interests: Reading, Dancing, Socialising... Blah Blah
Likes: Having a laugh, hanging out with mates, ICE-CREAM JJ
Dislikes: Moody People, stinky buses & trains, mash potato & coursework

I always wanted to take Media as one of my chosen subjects since GCSE but I just thoughts my other subjects were much more important. (Sciences, maths etc.) 
I loved taking photographs and video recording; I feel that I am a very creative person who is naturally good at art, photography, dance etc. without the need of any lessons or practice. Therefore I didn't want to miss my chance in year 13 to take on media with the year 12. This would be my only chance of experiencing the Media and film world and also showing my talent.
